I saw the CD today, and it is in a very smart cardboard gatefold
package held together with a couple of blobs of velcro - the band's
name (I assume) is in Morse code on the spine and nowhere else on the
outside. 4AD occasionally release albums in this sort of luxury
package for a limited period (Kristin Hersh and Belly are two which
spring to mind) - it could well be that this packaging is the limited
edition, with a standard jewel case to follow.
